Running time: 95 minutes

Annapurna in Nepal is one of the most dangerous mountains in the world to try to climb. What drives a person to attempt that feat? In the case of Mateo (Javier Rey), it’s to fulfil a promise following a recent loss in his life. However, his first attempt fails badly, and he would have died if not rescued by Ione (Patricia Lopez Arnaiz), a fellow climber who has all but cut herself off from civilisation. Can these two people overcome their personal demons to triumph over the elements? Combining the intimate with the epic, this strikingly filmed drama focuses as much on the inner journeys and motivations of the two protagonists as the physical difficulties, with Annapurna becoming a metaphor for overcoming personal tragedy and grief. Fantastic cinematography and impressive climbing footage really immerses us in their frigid environment, you can feel the frostbite! Please note: There will be no ads or trailers, so please arrive promptly at the advertised start time.
